Severus did have a doozy of a hangover, but he had had a massive shock. He does not usually drink to excess. And as for Harry and the mead...he did not realise he was getting drunk until it was too late. He just knew the drink was delicious and also that Sev had denied him a second drink in DD's rooms and he was feeling rebellious. He was just being a typical teenager and doind what he was told not to do. He still feels the need to show his new father that he is still the same person he has always been, no matter the new-found information regarding his paternity.
